The sophistication of current predictions for $Z+$jet production at hadron colliders necessitates a re-evaluation of any approximations inherent in the theoretical calculations. In this paper we address one such issue, the inclusion of mass…
We discuss how the early LHC data runs can provide crucial tests of the formalism used to predict the cross sections of central exclusive production.
The purpose of this paper is to explain the discrepancies existing in the literature relative to $e^+e^-$ pair production in peripheral heavy ion collisions at ultra-relativistic energies. A controversial issue is the possible cancellation…
We have calculated diffractive dijet production in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at low-Q^2 and next-to-leading order (NLO) of perturbative QCD, including contributions from direct and resolved photons. We study how the cross section…
We consider the production and scattering amplitudes of heavy mesons in a situation, where there are two closely spaced narrow resonances, which structure we refer to as a diresonance. Assuming strong overlapping of the resonances coupled…
We review the status of NNLO calculations for jet cross sections at the LHC. In particular, we describe how perturbative stability and convergence can be used as criteria to select the most appropriate scales in the theoretical description…
